As cool as it would be to have a sample, I feel like having a used chip that is in great shape will be much better. Not only was it actually used there, but it has the history of the place behind it. That's how I feel and why I collect chips. All of the chips I have aren't the best although I always try to get the best possible condition ones that I can.

I think I only have one sample and that's an International Hilton $5. Brand new of course, but it just didn't as much of an impact to me as the other chips I've gotten.
